Ham says it's a bad comparison. Must be because I am uneducated about the TE position having played it lol

I mean the question is have is Bowers that caliber of inline TE that Gronk was? Receiving obviously Bowers could be in the mix with the best I believe.

But with a guy like Gronk that gets overlooked is the dirty work he did for the Pats dude was just a dominate blocker.

And the inline work for TE is tending to fall to the way side with guys wanting to basically be big WRs at the TE spot

Bowers is 6’2”….Gronk was much taller at 6’6”. Throw it up high to him even if covered. Just a bad comparison in so many ways. Bowers will be a good player is about the only comparison.

Bears are making a huge change up. Great looking new stadium. Dome in Chicago for Caleb.

Yeah,so quicker can be better than BIG now. We're also seeing TE sized slot WR's

Like Pitts was that draft. But I don't think they use him correctly,so whatever

Everyone will be linked tp us for the next 30 hours. Happens every year

Latham is linked to us in so many educated guessing ways. He fits and makes a ton of sense.

Any OT for us is a pretty good guess

Look nothing wrong with the receiving TE but like you said have to use him correctly which is why Bowers could fit as the pick could flex him out wide as the slot WR in those kind of sets…. Likely to big for most slot CB and S and to fast for most LBs.

But similar to Ertz you need the other guy as well Ertz was lucky we had Celek great blocker then Geodart another really good inline TE

From what I hear he is a aslo at least an adequate blocker.So he could be a decoy or an actual pass catcher on whatever play. Need to see how the new OC wants this offense to look

Yeah Celek/Ertz, Ertz,Geodert,maybe Goedert/Bowers is the next progression IDK. But as joe said the jets would need alot to let him go at 10

You are the one that made the comparison…which doesn’t apply

Maybe he gets more TD's,more yards,more rings. How do you know he doesn't compare?

Any T around our draft spot is very much a good guess, yes

Great points all in here. Plus Moore has been on record not wishing to roll with two TE sets nearly as much as we have been. Looking for three WR sets.

Repeating once again that Smith has been working hard,gaining muscle and weight. He will be even better. Looking forward to see a new offense that uses it's assets

When have we had 2 TE sets without TE2??? Everyone knew Stoll was in to block. noone else ever showed up to win the TE2 job

So how can you run plays with players you don't have?
